| 10:34am | Minami Orange and Christmas Cake | | | | Its orange season, and Chiaki is lovin’ it. For some reason, I haven’t eaten oranges in a long while. Maybe its because I developed a subconscious phobia of it after listening to Toradora’s orange ending? Masaka ne. For some reason I felt quite good after watching this episode. Maybe... | | |
| 4:46am | Minami-ke Okaeri 9 review; Oranges, mittens, and Christmas cake, oh-my. | | | | This episode begins with Kana bringing some oranges to the Kotatsu, and both Chiaki and Touma watch Kana eating, then they both grab for the same orange. At school, Uchida comes running up to Makoto and tells him that Chiaki and Touma are fighting. Uchida pleads with Makoto to stop the... | | |
| 12:12am | Casshern SINS #23 — What’s the Scouter Say About A Conclusion? | | | | It’s reading 0.0, Vegeta. Impressions: Going from ZKC, Spidey, Minami-ke, Spidey again for good measure, and then to Casshern is like sandpaper on my soul. The Dio fight was better than a lot of things in the second half of this, but it still didn’t hold a candle to their original fight.... | | |
| 10:35pm | Minami-ke: Welcome Back #10 — Hot Balls in Uchida’s Mouth | | | | I bet that I get the best Google results. Impressions: This was easily the best episode of this season of Minami to date. The third part was pretty weak, but the fourth was an absolute riot. Watching Chiaki bark at Natsuki while he growled back between flashing his creepy smile at Haruka was absolutely... | | |
| 5:12am | Weekly Anime Review (Feb 23 – Mar 1) | | | | Isn't it funny how fate works sometimes.There’s two changes to this week’s anime review that I need to mention before going on. The first is something I mentioned last week, I’ve tweaked my grading scale. What happened, if you didn’t already read, is that I’m throwing out the pluses which... | | |
| 7:53am | Minami-ke Okaeri 9 - I See (Dead Horses Being Beaten) |  | | | Hi, I’m Troy McClure. You may remember me from such blog posts as After heckling everyone on this blog, among others, for so long, the green-haired trappy overlord of THAT has put his pump-wearing foot down. So, my penance begins with forcing myself to watch through a rather humdrum episode... | | |
| 10:01pm | Minami-ke Okaeri - Episode 9 | | | | There's always something indescribably odd about watching Christmas-centric episodes at the beginning of March. Still, at least the weather is suitably seasonal for such an episode here in the UK right now, which is a start.Anyhow, this episode kicks off with conflict aplenty - The cause of it all?... | | |
| 8:00am | minami-ke okaeri 1, 2, 3 | | | | I'm so excited in writing this post that I didn't even realize that all my shirt buttons have become undone somehow. | | |
| 9:49pm | Minami-ke Okaeri 8 review; how to attract guys, or Kana’s fuzzy logic. | | | | This episode begins with starts with Yoshino and Uchida buying some sweet potatoes from a vendor then heading to the Minami apartment where Kana starts going over the “laws’ of getting a boyfriend. Kana has them begin their training by acting weak, pretending to be unable to... | | |
| 8:58am | The 5 Personal Most Influential (non-anime) Animation Shows | | | | Awhile back I posted my top 10 influential anime shows. I was happy with the final list but something nagged me about it and I couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was until just recently. I mentioned maybe putting up my most influential non-anime animation shows but didn’t really see the importance... | | |
| 8:23am | Minami-ke Okaeri - 09 |  | | | Envy, greed, sloth, and a beard made of icing - the four cardinal sins of Christmas | | |
| 7:14am | Mikan Watch 18: Minami-ke Okaeri | | | | From Totali at Subculture, taken from Minami-ke Okaeri Episode 9, apparently. What is unusual about this particular mikan box is that it actually appears to be holding oranges. Who’da thunk it? I guess I’ll have to give Totali this one, though I don’t actually watch Minami-ke myself... | | |
| 5:29am | Minami-ke Okaeri - 09 |  | | | DI GI, I FOUND A MIKAN BOX. Summary: Kana picks out oranges to eat while at the apartment, but when Chiaki reaches for one at the table, her hand bumps into Touma’s. The two girls seem to be arguing the next day, which Uchida worriedly relays to Makoto. Though Makoto does not have the courage... | | |
| 12:15am | Minami-ke: Welcome Back #09 — Emergency Christmas | | | | Weren’t we on the beach two weeks ago? Impressions: Isn’t this the third Christmas for this show? Shouldn’t Haruka have graduated by now? Where the hell is the legend of the gangboss these days? Who the hell was that character that had a crush on Hosaka and hasn’t been seen... | | |
| 12:06pm | February Summary | | | | A bit of a boring list this time perhaps, since it looks mostly the same as last month’s with perhaps a few small differences. Nevertheless, this was a very good month. The winter season has proven to be an excellent one, and quite a few series spent this month getting even better than they already... | | |
